Hi Blooreeler,
"And there are hundreds of smaller mines world wide in direct competition with them....and doing well."
Yes...with " mines" being the operative word...not a few holes drilled in the ground and precious little else.
"Squashing smaller co's is against the law of all countries."
so is murder but it still happens
I for one hope and pray that X and V dictate to AVB....I think this is what they are banking on too
